Today we will continue talk Universal Studios Monster - the Mummy. Let's jump ahead a few years to 1940 when Universal brought us The Mummy's Hand with Tom Tyler.
A couple of comical, out-of-work archaeologists (Dick Foran and Wallace Ford) in Egypt discover evidence of the burial place of the ancient Egyptian princess Ananka. After receiving funding from an eccentric magician (Cecil Kellaway) and his beautiful daughter (Peggy Moran), they set out into the desert only to be terrorized by a sinister high priest (George Zucco) and the living mummy Kharis (Tyler) who are the guardians of Ananka^Òs tomb.
So for a scary "Monster Mash Month" selection, we highly recommend the Universal's 1940 film, The Mummy's Hand. Join "Let's Talk Classic Movies" Friday as we conclude 'Mummy' week with Universal's The Mummy's Tomb.
**Trivia Question for Today: The excavation scenes in The Mummy's Hand were shot on the Universal back-lot in a rocky and desert-like section of the natural hills. What was the name of the hills?
Trivia Answer for Previous Post: The Mummy poster holds the record for the most money paid for a movie poster at auction: more than $453,500.
